Hi Bok Bok!

Here is the conversation I had with "Bok Bok", a Yahoo! Messenger based intelligent bot written by Vrikodhara [AIML (AAA and Dr. Wallace's A.L.I.C.E.), Program D and jYMsg9 Library based.]. The conversation was pretty long, so I have inserted suitable headings in between.

Though I enjoyed the entire conversation because of the fact that I knew I was conversing with a piece of code, the best part which I am sure you will also enjoy reading most, was when I tried to convince Bok Bok that it was a Banana! Was I successful? Well, you should scroll-down and find out for yourself. Bok Bok must be good because I wanted to continue conversing even after I stopped, or umm... maybe that's because I am a... oh well!.

The bot keeps learning with time so I suggest you check it out! I wonder when Bok Bok, or its clone would be able to clear the Turing Test...
